Last month the McDonough Historical Society revamped the cemetery section of their website to make it more user friendly and useful.

Heather Monroe, a volunteer that implemented the changes, said the features such as the GPS coordinates for McDonough County cemeteries should make it easier for those wishing to learn the county's history.

"Some of the cemeteries can be hard to find," Monroe said. "We're hopeful that it will be useful in a number of ways."

Additional features from the Historical Society include a guide to the more than 100 cemeteries in the county, the McDonough cemeteries guide, and the McDonough County cemetery marker photos.

Donations can also be made to the society to support the Cemetery Improvement Project.
